SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 626,084, dated May 30, 1899.

Application filed December 3,1897.

To will whom it 3. 741 con/car).-

Be it known that WOAVILFRED I. OHMER and \VALLAOE M. KELCH, citizens of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printing and Registering Machines; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention relates to lll'lPl'OVOlllGlllS in printing and registering machines.

The object of the invention is to provide a machine of this character that registers and indicates the total fares paid, registers and indicates the number of passengers carried or tickets issued, indicates each specific fare, issues a ticket and prints thereon the amount of fare paid, the point of destination to which the ticket is issued, the time of issuing said ticket, and the date and month, and also prints an advertisement on the hack of each ticket so issued. The mechanism through which the above results are obtained will be fully described in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing our machine in full size. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the rear side of the frame and the mechanism therein removed from the case. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the frame and the mechanism removed from the case.

M. and P. M. printing type for printing the A. and P. for the forenoon and afternoon; and Fig. 22, a View showing the ratchet of the farc-print ing wheel, the plunger, and the pawl which actuate said ratchet-wheel.

In the specification similar reference characters will be used to denote corresponding parts in the several views of the drawings.

In Fig. 1 the letter A is the timepiece, B the total-fare registering and indicating wheels, C the specific-fare-indieating wheel, and Dis the number of ticket or passenger indicating wheels, all of which are exposed through sightopenings in the case E.

F is a rotatable shaft through which the station or point of starting or destination for which the ticket is issued is ascertained.

G is a plunger through which the total-fare indicating and registering wheels 13, the specilie-fareindicating wheels G, and the bellsounding mechanism are operated, and II designates the handle of a rack II, (not shown in Fig. 1,) through which the printing and certain other mechanisms hereinafter described are operated.

The shaft F gears with a horizontal shaft 1 through mitergears 2 and 3. Upon shaft 1 a wheel 4 is rigidly mounted and carries on its periphery numerals denoting stations or points of destination for which the tickets are issued. Upon the top of the case there is a dial 5, having numerals that correspond with those on the wheel 4 and which turn with said shaft. A pointer G, fixed to the top of the case, points to the figures on said dial and calls attention to the figures thereon which it is desired to print on the ticket from wheel at. On the shaft 1 there are also wheels 7 and S, that bear, respectively, numerals that denote the date and month to be printed on the tickets and which are loose on the said shaft. The date-wheels T are turned daily to set the proper date hya shaft 9, that lies parallel with shaft 1 and has on it a small toothed wheel that gears with a similar wheel 10 on the side of said date-wheel in a well-known manner. Shaft f) has a finger-piece on the outside of the case, by which it may be turned. The plunger G is mounted to slide, and against braclc ets or plates 11 and 12. The lower end of the said plunger has a pawl 13, that when said plunger is pressed down engages with a ratchet-wheel 14, fixed to the side of the specificfare-printing wheel 15, and turns said wheel to bring the proper figure thereon into a position to print. This plunger is so pressed a varying number of times, according to the figure it is desired to print, as to impress the ticket about to be issued with the amount of fare then to be charged. These same varying depressions of the plunger G likewise actuate the specific-fareindicating wheel 0 through the intermediate detail devices to be mentioned presently. The said wheel has a bearing in the vertical plate 12 and is prevented from turning back by a spring-pressed pawl 16, pivoted to said plate. The wheels B, upon which the total fares paid are registered, mayor may not be inelosod in an offset or case 13". These wheels upon which the total fares are registered are operated by a pawl 17, that is carried on a pivotal arm 18. From said arm there projects an arm 1J,'that lies across the path of a shaft 20, that is carried on the plunger G. The downward movement of the said plunger thus actuates the said pawl to move the primary one of the wheels IS, in addition to the movement of the wheel 15. The downward movement of said plunger further actuates a roclcarm 21, which is rigid on a rock-shaft 22, that is jonrnalcd in the frame. The rocking or oscillating movement is imparted to said shaft 2:? by the shaft 20, which comes in contact with the angular lover or arm 21, projecting from said shaft 22. The end of the shaft 22 carries an arm 23, which has a pawl 24, that engages with a ratchetwheel .25, fast on the inside of the specificfare-indicating wheel 0. (Shown in Fig. The shaft of wheel 0 is mounted in a central bearing-arm 26 and an inner bearing-arm 27, the latter being attached to the former and the former having an attachment with the frame.

28 is a housing having a fixed attachment with the arm 27. This housing incloses a winding-spring 29, one end of which is attached to the shaft of the wheel C and the other end is attached to a fixed part. There are pivoted to the bearing-arm 26 two oppositely-moving detents 30 and 31, the latter of which looks or frees the wheel O by engaging with or disengaging from the notches 32, see Fig. 3,) as the case may be, and the former of which looks or frees the wheel by engaging with or disengaging from the ratchet 25, as the case may be. The said detents 30 and 31 have respectively a rigid pin and 33" projecting inwardly. (See Fig. 10.) Depending from the arm 23 is a loose arm 34, which has a part of its length reduced to provide an ottset 35. The lower end of this arm normally lies against a projection 36, which causes it to move outwardly in an are under the arc movement of the arm :2 \Vhen the said arm is borne down by the movement of the plunger, the depending piece 34 is moved out in contact with the pin as the said piece descends. The otl'setor projection 35, comingin contact with the pin, moves the detent 31 out of engagement with the wheel C, at which time the spring 29 causes the said wheel to return to zero. The arm 34 continuing in its downward movement, the offset 35 next comes in contact with the pin 33 and moves the detent 30 to a position to engage with the ratchetwheel 25 immediately the pawl 21 engages with the said ratchet-wheel and moves it the necessary extent to rotate the Wheel C and indicate the fare paid, the detent 3O preventin g a backward movement of said Wheel from the point at which it stopped. The down movement of the plunger further actuates the bell-sounding mechanism through the bell-hammer 30" to sound the bell 37. The arm 38, carrying said hammer, is pivoted at 39 to the plate 12. The inner end of the arm 38 carries an antifriction pivotal piece 40, with which a projection or pin 41 on the plunger comes in contact and sounds the hell on the down movement of the plunger. The toothed rack II is operated downwardly by the iingerpiece 11'. It carries at its upper end a depending arm 42, which as said rack is moved down first comes in contact with the outer end of the detent 31 and moves it out to engage with a notch in the wheel C tohold said wheel in position. This takes place immediately after the said wheel has been moved to an indicating position. The arm 12, continuing to move down with the rack, next comes incontact with the outer end of the detent 30 and moves it away from the ratchet-wheel 25. This movement of said rack also actuates the inking-roller 44; to move it over the face of the type-plate 45, which consists of a time-dial with a rotating head 45" and hand to point to the figures on the said dial, the fare-printing wheel 15, the plate 46 bearing letters or types indicating the forenoon and afternoon, (see Fig. 7,) the station or destination wheel 4,

and the date and month wheels7 and 8. The type-plate it is turned by the rod 4.6 to change from A. M. to P. M. The said inkingroller 44 has its lower side inelosed in a case or shield -11 is to prevent the ink from getting off of the roller onto the web I. ofpaper that passes from the roll I. The case it is connected to two oscillating arms l7 17, that are hung on a shaft 48, journaled in the vertical plate 12. An oscillating movement is imparted to the said arms through an arm i9, that is rigidly secured to one of the arms-t7.

This arm 49 has a slot 50in the end thereof,

into which a pin 51 projects from a side ofthe rack.

52 is a pinion on shaft 53, meshing with the rack. Upon this shaft there is a printingroller 54, which is designed to print an advertisement on the back of the ticket. This roller 54 and a roller form also the feedrollers, through which the web I is passed.

56 is an inking-rollerforthe printing-roller 54. One of the journals of the said roller 56 is mounted (see Fig. 14) in a slotted arm 57 of a bell-crank lever, the upper arm 58 of which projects in the path of a cam 59 on the shaft of roller 51, and as said cam rotates the inking-roller is periodically moved against the roller St to ink it (see Fig. 14) for said lever and cam particularly.

60 designates a shoulder on rack II, from which there projects a pin 61. This pin moving downwardly with said rack comes in contact with a lever 62, that carries a pawl which actuates the primary wheel of the number of ticket or passenger indicating wheels D in a manner similar to the total-fare-registering wheels 13. The platen 63 is operated simultaneously with the wheels 0 by a pin (it, that projects from a side of the rack II and comes in contact with the lower arm of a bell-crank lever U5. This lever has its fulcrum at 65 on a lower guide 66, in which the sliding bar 67 moves. The-platen 63 has a loose connection with the upper end of the bar 67. The inner arm of the bell-crank lever [35 has a slot in which a pin 68, projecting from bar 67, lies. (See dotted lines in Fig. 2.) An operation of the bell-crank moves upwardly the platen, which carries the web of paper against the time-plate 45, the wheel 15, the plate 46, and wheels 7 and 8. Just prior to this elevation of said pad the inking-roller moves against the type and out of the way of the said pad to a position as shown in Fig. 5. The printing-wheel 15 has a spring 16', that returns it to zero when the pawl 16 is disengaged therefrom. A disengagement of the said pawl is effected through a bell-crank lever 16, that lies across the upper side of said pawl. This lever has its fulcrum at 16" on the side of the frame. The lower arm 11", of this lever projects over one of the journals of the roller A pin 16 projects from an end of said roller and trips the lever as it is carried around, thus causing the horizontal arm of said lever to press down the pawl 10. (See Fig. 4-.)

'0 now refer to the time mechanism, by which we are enabled to print the time that each ticket is issued. (See Fig. 5.) This consists of a clock A, the center-pinion of which meshes, through an additional pinion 70",with an auxiliary wheel 70, that is mounted on the rear of the clock-frame. The shaft of wheel 70 carries a miter-gear 71, that meshes with a similar gear 72 on shaft '73, that is supported at one end in an arm 74, attached to the clock-frame, and at the other end in the vertical plate 12. The inner end of the shaft 73 has a miter-gear 75,that meshes with a si milar gear 76 on the shaft that carries the retating printing-block 45 and the time-hand. (See Fig. 7.) The wheel 70, as above stated, is geared to the center-pinion of the clock by means of an additional pinion 7Q, and by being thus geared back by this small pinion engaging with this large gear there is therefore not sufiieient additional labor put upon the clock-gearing to affect its time-keeping qualities. The well-known movement imparted to the center-pinion by the clock-spring rotates the said auxiliary wheel in a ratio corresponding to the movement of the hand on the dial of the clock. The shaft 53 has a convolute spring 77 on it to cause the pinion 52 to return the rack II to its upper or normal position, the pawl a" and ratchet l)" for this spring being shown incidentally in Fig. 3, where the frame is broken away. The shafts of feedroller 55, advertising-printing roller 54, and inking-roller 5e are journaled in the side plates 78 in the inside of the frame.

\Vc do not desire to limit ourselves to the means shown for pressing the web of paper against the printing-wheel, as other means may be employed. For example, a roller may be mounted on the arms that carry the pressure-pad for this purpose.

It will be understood that we have provided a machine designed to be used principally by street-railway and omnibus companies engaged in carrying passengers and that this machine is to be carried by the conductors of such conveyances. \Vhen the conductor approaches the passenger to take up the latters fare, he will say Where to? or words to that effect, meaning to what point the passenger proposes to ride, it the particular line is one having rates of fare for different distances, or in the case of lines having but one fare for conveying passengers this question willbe omitted. Then theeonduetor willissue a ticket to the passenger. This ticket will, as seen in Figs. 17 and 18, bear on its face the day of the month, the division of the day, as l. M., the hour of the day by the clock-dial and hand printed thereon, and the amount of the fair, as fourcents. 'lhebaek of the ticket is printed upon for advertising purposes, as typified in Fig. 1 This ticket is handed to the passenger, and the amount of fare indicated thereon is collected from him. The amount so collected is also indicated by the indicating-wheels C, (see Figs. 1 and 3,) which are operated in the manner hereiubefore described. During the preparation and issuing of this ticket the gong of the machine is sounded, so that the attention of the passengers is called to the fact that the cond uetor is doing his duty. It will further be seen that the amount of the fare paid was registered by the registering mechanism typified by the wheels 13 and operated through the reciprocating bar G and the pawl mechanism, (more particularly shown in Fig. 6;) also, that the number of this passenger or ticket in the series of passengers or tickets since the machine was last set at zero is recorded by the recording mechanism typified by the wheels I), which are operated by the pawl mechanism 62. (Shown in Figs. 2, 4, and S and fully described hereinabove.) The time of day printed on the ticket is shown by a correspondence with the time indicated by the clock A, also as above described. Thus it will be seen that this machine comprehends means for printing the amount of fare, which we call the fare printing mechanism; means for printing the date and the time of day, which we eallthe time-printing mechanism; means for printing advertising mat ter on the ticket, which we call the advertising-printing mechanism; means for registering the amount of the fare, which we call the fare-registering mechanism means for registering the number of the passenger or ticket issued, which we call the ticket" or passenger registering mechanism; means for indicating the amount of fare printed on the ticket and collected, which we call the speci fic-fare-indicating mechanism,(which we call specific because indicating each fare as distinguished from the wheels 13, which incident ally indicate the fares as well register them,) and a sounding mechanism, which we call the gong. \Ve have described and illustrated one type of detail construction and organization, being that which we have tried and deemed to be etiicient and perhaps the best, but such detail mechanism organized to perform these respective functions and to constitute these respective mechanisms may be varied without departing from our invention in the inventive sense.
